A Home Start in Reading is only one of three books in the Three R's set. I cannot emphasize strongly enough how valuable this little set of books is for all homeschooling parents with young children.

With just a little confidence in your ability to shed your dependency upon curriculum, you can actually teach your child how to read with only this book! This 28-page book has five sections covering the five essential stages of reading: prereading, beginning, blending, decoding, and fluency. Dr. Beechick includes charts of phonetic sounds (including combinations of letters) and lists of basic sight words. She also describes simple yet effective reading readiness activities that all children should experience. A small phonics chart also comes with the Three R's set.

I realize that most parents will want something more than this to teach reading, if not for the security, for the extra learning activities for their child. Even so, every parent should read this book so they can grasp the essentials of reading instruction BEFORE tackling a more comprehensive program. Dr. Beechick demystifies the process and makes it manageable for inexperienced parents.

Note: The set of three individual books is being discontinued. They are all now published together in a single book titled The Three R's, pictured below.
